Call me juvenile but, when I hear about stupid stuff like this it makes me want to go out of my way to break the rules. Decide you want to run down to 7-11 for a Slurpee -- get a year in jail. Totally worth it.

The governor said rapid snowfall of 2-3 inches per hour will make for, &#8220;extremely dangerous conditions,&#8221; and will &#8220;make safe travel nearly impossible.&#8221;

Sounds like a tuesday around here. A couple years ago I drove to work through the city of Spokane with snow coming up over the hood of my blazer in some spots. IIRC there are more sick calls on an average summer day than there were that day.

Consider those that need rescue and the risk to the responders. I've been in one of those storms and idiots with vehicles stuck in the middle of the road or with a car stuck halfway into the roadway are a hazard to emergency and road clearing crews. In those situations, they are asking people with 4WD vehicles to help transport hospital and other emergency personnel to their places of work.

The population density in New England is far and above what we have in the snow zones here in the Northwest.

Piratepast40, while I understand where you're coming from, I still think an executive travel ban is overreaching. Reasonable citizens use reasonable judgement. If there were a strong advisory to stay off the roads, most people won't risk their health or property unnecessarily. No one needs to BAN me from playing golf during a lighting storm. There's always exceptions to the reasonable norm though. Maybe natural selection should handle those cases rather than the threats of fines or jail time.

I am one of that group of "responders". Do NOT take away my rights or the rights of others for this BS.

If you truly believe what they are doing is right then it is NO different then believing that all this "gun control" is right since is it EXACTLY the same thing. What is comes down to is restricting the rights of everyone for the POSSIBLE actions of some people. IF those "some people" make poor choices THEY need to be dealt with.

Oh B.S., the two things have nothing to do with each other. MA, CT, and NY have all declared states of emergency to free up resources for the storm. As a first responder, I find it hard to believe that you don't believe in any laws concerning public safety. I can relate to my brother in law who has repeatedly arrived at car wreck scenes and had to be the one to help extracate bodies because someone thought that they didn't like the oppressive government telling them that that couldn't drive drunk or that they didnt need to wear seat belts. I really find it hard to believe that you actually think it's ok to over and over again pull dead teenagers out of wrecked cars because they thought it was ok to do 90 down some back road.

If you really think that public safety is a bunch of BS, then you're in the wrong business.
